AGENDA
A SPECIAL MEETING
SCHOOL BOARD OF WALTON COUNTY, FLORIDA
South Walton High School, 645 Greenway Trail, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459 - SWHS Auditorium
Thursday, November 15, 2007
5:00 pm
25 - ADMINISTRATION -
25.40 - Miscellaneous
Board hearing and decision on appeal of the District Challenged Materials Committee’s recommendations
regarding the challenged material, Blithe Spirit.
99 - ADJOURNMENT -
99.01 - Adjournment
NOTE: If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the School Board with respect to any matter considered at such
meeting or hearing, such person will need a record of the proceedings and, for such purpose, such person may need to
ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon
which the appeal is to be based.
Please please attend this meeting if you want to start the ball rolling to get this challenge process changed! Currently, anything taught in the Walton County Schools can be challenged by anybody for any reason. Once a book, play, classroom concept, etc. has been formally challenged, the students have to be "hands off" until the challenge is completed. We would like to change this challenge process to let the students continue work on challenged material until a FINAL decision is made by the board. The way the policy works now, only the party making the challenge has any rights or power, which is unacceptable.
Of course we want to see Blithe Spirit approved and performed at SWHS. We also want to make sure this situation does not happen again- please attend this meeting and let your voice be heard!
I will be attending with both kids- let's fill up that auditorium!!!!:clap:
